The internet can be a troublesome place, as the youngsters who were the subject of a front page story in the Scottish edition of the Sunday Express have found out.
The tale, carrying the byline of Paula Murray, alleged that some survivors of the 1996 Dunblane massacre ‘shamed’the memory of their dead friends by boasting about drunken nights out on social networking website Bebo.
